How Do The Parties And The Mediator Work Together
The normal process is for the parties and mediator
tomeettogether, at scheduled sessions determined by the parties.
Essentially mediation runs like a guided negotiation between the
parties, with the mediator facilitating the communication. Most
meditations generally run by the following five-stage format:
Stage 1: Establishing the Process: The mediator and the parties agree
to a number of guidelines they will follow in the mediation. This
usually includes only allowing one person to speak at a time, treating
all parties with respect, and confidentially.
Stage 2: Exploring Positions and Interests: The parties usually make
their initial statements regarding their disagreement and define what
they hope to resolve in the mediation.
Stage 3: Developing Solutions: Each party discusses their interests and
possible solutions to resolve their disagreement.
Stage 4: Finalizing A Resolution: The parties assisted by the mediator
create a solution mutually agreeable to both parties.
Stage 5: The Written Agreement: Once agreed on, the solution is
formalized in a written resolution agreement.
